Tesla's 2Q profit falls 45% to $1.48 billion as sales drop despite price cuts and low-interest loans


The company said it made $1.48 billion from April through June, less than the $2.7 billion it made in the same period of 2023. It was Tesla's second-straight quarterly net income decline.

Morningstar analyst Seth Goldstein attributed the large stock drop to Tesla giving little new specific information on vehicles or tangible financial targets.
